Joy Eileen Nichols (17 February 1925 - 23 June 1992) born in Sydney, Australia was a comedienne and actress who worked in Australia, Britain and the United States. She is best known as a star of Take It From Here on BBC Radio. Originally part of a song-and-dance double act with her brother George, Joy Nichols moved to Britain in 1946 to further her career. The producer Charles Maxwell gave her a major role in the last series of Navy Mixture in 1947 starring with Jimmy Edwards. Guest appearances by fellow Australian Dick Bentley led to the pairing of Bentley's writer Denis Norden with Edwards and Nichols' writer Frank Muir on Take It From Here (1948-1960), starring Edwards, Bentley and Nichols, who both sang and played comedy.
